The Shortlist for Aug. 30

"Playing drinking game with my brother now," tweeted "American Idol" alum Clay Aiken this week. "We drink every time we see a black person on screen at the RNC convention. #soberasamormon." But vocal Republican country singer Jon Rich found nothing funny about Aiken's jab at the lack of African-American support for the GOP at this week's convention. In fact, Rich accused Aiken of being intolerant. "CLAY! You should be ashamed for racist comments like THAT! WOW," he tweeted. "And to finish it off, @clayaiken hashtags soberasamormon?" added Rich. "I thought your charity was for inclusion, not EXCLUSION. What happened?" But Aiken took the response in stride, finishing things off by posting: "My charity is [for inclusion]. Why isn't your party? ;-)" Touche. (GossipCop)
